Impact of Breakfast on Daily Energy Levels

The type of breakfast consumed significantly influences overall energy levels and cravings throughout the day. A savory breakfast is more effective in sustaining energy than a sugary one, as the former helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. For example, switching from a sweet breakfast, such as a Nutella crepe, to a savory option can prevent mid-morning hunger and cravings for sweets. This shift primes the body to feel more in control and reduces the likelihood of impulsively eating high-sugar foods later on.
